Sultanas are a type of dried grape, typically made from light-colored, seedless grapes, such as the Thompson Seedless variety. They are known for their sweet, juicy flavor and golden color, which results from a drying process that often involves soaking the grapes in a solution to enhance their sweetness and moisture retention.

Sultanas are popular in various culinary applications, including baking, cooking, and as a snack. They are commonly used in dishes like fruitcakes, granola bars, and salads, adding natural sweetness and a chewy texture. Nutritionally, sultanas are a good source of energy, providing essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making them a wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
